About The Inspector #
The Provisioning Profile Inspector allows you to securely debug iOS .mobileprovision files entirely within your web browser.
Apple’s provisioning profiles are generated as Cryptographic Message Syntax (PKCS#7) signed structures. Inside these opaque binary files lives a standard XML property list (plist) that contains all of your critical app entitlements, permitted device UDIDs, developer certificates, and the exact expiration date.
Since uploading raw certificates to a remote server is a major security risk, this tool parses the PKCS#7 binary footprint locally on your machine using JavaScript, safely extracting the inner XML payload for immediate viewing.
- Client-Side Only: Your files are decoded securely in your local browser and are never transmitted to a backend.
- Entitlements Check: Easily verify your Push Notification environments, Associated Domains, and App Groups.
- Expiration Insight: Confirm precisely when your profile will expire (
ExpirationDate).
